This award is a celebration and recognition of Mekong Capital’s extraordinary influence and contribution to advancements in the field of human development.

“We always put investment in human development as our high priority, because we understand that the most important factor to succeed is building a strong team that takes action to deliver the expected results,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Giang, Director of Talent and Culture at Mekong Capital.

Mekong Capital becomes the second recipient based in Vietnam to receive this Asia-wide award.

Recipients are honored for bringing significant changes to human development through their initiatives in five categories: Lifetime Achievement, Contribution to Society, Contribution to Organization, Contribution to HR Community, and Movers and Shakers.
